Abstract

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes. B. subtilis strain PY79 is a prototrophic laboratory strain that has been highly used for studying a wide variety of cellular pathways. Here, we announce the complete whole-genome sequence of B. subtilis PY79.

Highlights

  • Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes

  • The whole-genome shotgun sequence for JH642 is available, but it contains 286 nucleotides located in regions of ambiguous sequence

  • The PY79 genome is 154,156 nucleotides shorter than that of JH642, and, using the script run-mummer3, we found there are 3,641 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between JH642 and PY79 [7]

Summary

Introduction

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes. Bacillus subtilis has been studied under laboratory conditions for Ͼ100 years, yielding tremendous insight into the biology of Gram-positive bacteria. Laboratory studies have primarily used the strains B. subtilis PY79 and JH642 [1]. PY79 is a prototroph lacking many of the mobile genetic elements studied in JH642 [4, 5].
